Its been long time, since I stopped programming in Java, I wanted to create some desktop application. I was eagerly waiting for Adobe to release Apollo, so that I can do something. This weekend I decided to create a simple application in Apollo. Long ago I wrote one Flex application to play .flv files, so I though of using the same code and create on Flash video player. I spend about three hours and was able to create something very simple.
I was so excited to post my first Apollo Application. Please find the “.air” file at the end of this post. There is a zip folder with source files, please excuse me because source files are not tidy.
I personally believe Adobe has done excellent job, and made it so simple to create desktop application.
You will need to download and install Apollo Run time.
Download “FlashVideoPlayer.zip” (.zip 371KB)
Screen 1:
After installing the “FlashVideoPlayer.air” – FlashVideoPlayer.exe and it will open up the Video player. I tried to create player same as Windows Media Player 11.
Screen 2:
Click on Playlist icon and it will open up the Video browser window. Please select the flv file and click play icon. Video Browser window is filtering files and looking for only .flv files.
Download Source files:
MyFirstApplication.zip
All the best.

Hi Jatin, this is a cool Flash video player. I've noticed a couple of glitches: when opening a new video I have to press stop on the currenly playing one before I can play the new one; I can't pull the tracking bar to the point in time I want to.
You should also post the link to the Apollo Runtime, which I believe is here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/apolloruntime.html
Will it be possible to encode the runtime within the application?
